Jase, Al, and Zach connect Ben's story to their own experiences with Phil, fatherhood, and growing up in a generation where men rarely expressed affection. Ben also reveals the recent breakthrough with his dad that finally gave him the words he wanted to hear for most of his life.

What if the battlefield you've been dreading is actually the Holy Spirit's playground — the place where He gets to remind you of who you are? Graham opens with a line worth framing: "Never make allowances for losing, because you'll lose" — and never think below the level of your privilege in Christ. Discover why we interpret our circumstances through the word of God rather than the "doomsday merchants" of the news cycle, why the end times is about Jesus and not the devil, and why Graham calls Revelation "the best devotional book ever." He unpacks the miracle of being born again — a completely new identity to "take for a spin" — and lands on the levels of strength, courage, power, and anointing that make us warriors, champions, and game changers who love the conflict, because you get to see a side of Jesus on the battlefield that you don't see in peacetime.Key Scriptures:- Romans 13:12. "The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light."- 2 Corinthians 2:14. "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place."- Romans 8:37. "But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us."- Colossians 2:15. "When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him."- 1 John 5:4-5. "For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?"Want to explore more?

Some weeks the news makes it impossible to look away. This is one of those weeks. Mia sets aside her pre-recorded episodes to talk about what happens to our hearts when we watch society celebrate something that is clearly evil, and what we are actually supposed to do about it.   This is not a hot take. It is not an opinion episode. It is an honest conversation about staying tender when everything around you is pushing you toward a hard, cold heart, and about why prayer is the real battleground when the comment section feels like the only option. Mia talks about guarding what you let into your spirit, why children and mothers are under such heavy attack right now, and how to stay on mission when the world feels like it is unraveling. The episode closes with a full prayer over babies, over children, and over mothers who are struggling in the dark. If you have been carrying grief, anger, or numbness this week, this one is for you.   Timestamps Time Topic 00:01 Welcome, and why this episode replaced the ones already recorded 00:54 What moments like this reveal about our collective moral compass 01:22 The Bible told us this was coming: evil called good, people loving themselves 02:18 Why this is not an opinion episode 02:47 Protecting those who cannot defend themselves 03:12 Philippians 4:8 and guarding what you scroll past 03:39 Knowing your limits: why Mia will not go down certain rabbit holes 04:36 Staying sensitive to evil without being consumed by it 05:06 When society celebrates evil, and how God still uses it to draw people in 06:18 Why people run toward God after seeing evil 06:49 Pray for the children. Pray for the mothers. 07:18 The real danger for believers: a hardened heart 08:17 Those sweet lives are with Jesus, and there is still a way home 08:45 Becoming your own moral compass 09:11 How a culture of self spills over into how we treat children 10:40 The movement of agreement is more alarming than the act 11:35 Why we cannot argue anyone into seeing it, but we can pray 12:04 Why the enemy targets the smallest and purest among us 13:00 The response is not more hate. The response is prayer. 13:29 If you are on the other side of this, here is the invitation 14:23 You cannot hold the Holy Spirit and celebrate evil at the same time 14:52 Praying over mothers, and what to do about intrusive voices 16:14 Righteous anger, and where to aim it 17:14 What Mia does not claim to know, and what she does know 17:40 There is always a way out, and we still get to choose 18:38 Nobody is too far gone 19:32 How a hardened heart quietly kills your prayer life 20:02 Leading well from whatever platform you have 21:00 Gather your people and pray 22:27 Fight in prayer instead of fighting in the comments 22:56 Full prayer over babies, children, and mothers 25:19 Closing encouragement and what is coming next   Scriptures Referenced Quoted directly Philippians 4:8 (03:12) - Whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable, think on these things. Mia's filter for what she lets into her feed and her spirit.   Referenced and paraphrased throughout Isaiah 5:20 (01:22, 22:27) - Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (01:22, 08:45) - In the last days people will be lovers of themselves, proud, without natural affection. John 10:10 (03:39, 12:04, 26:17) - The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus came so we could have life, and have it abundantly. Romans 3:23 (13:29) - All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 (13:29) - The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (13:55) - Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (17:40) - God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will provide a way out. Romans 10:13 (19:02) - Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. 1 Kings 19:11-12 (19:02) - The still small voice.

Ephesians 6:12 (13:00, 19:32) - Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces in the heavenly realms. Philippians 4:6-7 (24:21) - The peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Luke 12:7 (26:17) - Even the hairs on your head are numbered. Psalm 139:13-16 (26:17) - You knit me together in my mother's womb. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. You are not a mistake.   Call to Action Summary 1. Guard your heart and your feed. Do not consume every piece of evil available to you. You cannot unsee what you see, and a spirit worn down by images of harm is not a spirit ready to do what God called you to do. Use Philippians 4:8 as a filter.   2. Refuse the hardened heart. The temptation right now is to go cold, write off society, and stop caring. That is the loss. A soft heart is what keeps you praying, and a hardened heart is what quietly ends your prayer life.   3. Go to battle in prayer, not in the comment section. Pray protection over babies and children, in the womb and out of it. Pray over mothers, including mothers who are pregnant, overwhelmed, or walking through postpartum depression. Pray that they hear God's voice instead of the enemy's. If you know a mother in that place, tell her to call on the name of Jesus, and pray over her yourself.   4. If you are far from God, come back. Nobody is too far gone. Open your Bible. Get into a church. Read what God says about how He feels about children, and about you. It is not too late to get right with Him. Gather your people. Whatever your circle is, family, team, small group, business, bring them together and pray over the children and the mothers out loud.

What does your soul actually need for self-care?Psalm 19 gives a surprising answer: “The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.”In this episode, John Ortberg explores why God's instruction isn't meant to burden us, but to help make us whole. Our souls become divided when our thoughts, desires, values, words, and actions pull in different directions. God's Word shows us what is good and helps bring our lives back into alignment.John also shares how memorizing 1 Corinthians 13 helped him confront anger and resentment in his own life. Sometimes soul care is as simple as taking one piece of God's Word and asking Him to help us actually live it.Go ahead and take the walk, light the candle, or get the massage. But don't miss the deeper invitation:Let God revive your soul.In this episode: Psalm 19 • wholeheartedness • internal integration • 1 Corinthians 13 • Dallas Willard • becoming whole#Psalm19 #JohnOrtberg #SoulCare #SpiritualFormation #Psalms #BibleStudy #ChristianFaith

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Memorial of Saint Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church, and Saint Paul (1 Corinthians 3:18-23) remind us not to rely on worldly wisdom or boast in human leaders, because everything belongs to Christ.Also, the Psalm (Psalm 24:1bc-2, 3-4ab, 5-6) teaches that the whole earth belongs to the Lord, and those who seek Him must come with clean hands and a pure heart.In the Gospel (Luke 5:1-11), Peter obeys Jesus, and after a fruitless night, receives an overwhelming catch, and he follows Him.Today's lesson points to trusting Jesus and lowering the nets again.Even when your own effort seems empty, obedience to His word can open the way to grace, humility, and mission.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Sin does more than produce wrong behavior. It distorts perception. Recording from Old Town Lublin, Poland, Nancy examines the sobering progression from deception to diminished sensitivity and spiritual hardening. Hebrews 3:13 warns that the deceitfulness of sin can harden the heart into settled rebellion. The danger is not only that we choose what is wrong, but that repeated agreement with sin can make us increasingly unable to see what is happening within us. Nancy also explores why Scripture commands believers to exhort one another daily—and why the Body of Christ is essential when self-deception has made honest inward discernment difficult. The most dangerous deception is the deception we cannot recognize in ourselves. But God does not uncover the heart to humiliate His sons. He brings what is hidden into the light so that truth can recover the inward man, soften what has become resistant, and restore responsiveness to His voice. This episode lays the foundation for Part 2, where the hidden things of the heart are made manifest and the undeniable presence of God brings a person to worship.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 5:9 What is your one big goal in life? Maybe it's to lose weight, save money, take that dream vacation, or accomplish something you've been working toward for years. Goals are important because they give our lives direction and focus. But what if there is one goal that should rise above every other goal?   Paul said, "We have as our ambition…to be pleasing to Him." After all the beatings, imprisonment, shipwrecks, and persecution that Paul experienced, he never lost sight of his greatest ambition: pleasing the Lord.   What would change in your life if pleasing God became your one great goal? How would it affect your choices, your words, your attitudes, and the way you respond when life gets difficult?   In today's episode, we'll discover why pleasing the Lord is a goal worth pursuing for a lifetime. It reaches far beyond this life.

What difference does the hope of heaven make when life hurts right now?   In this episode, Haley and Dustin welcome Sheila Walsh back to the podcast for an honest conversation about depression, disappointment, unanswered prayers, and the hope we have in Christ. Sheila shares about a recent difficult season in her own mental health journey and how Hebrews 12 led her to a fresh perspective on eternity.   Drawing from her book The Hope of Heaven, Sheila explores what Scripture says about heaven, why our longing for something more points us toward eternity, and how keeping our eyes on our future in heaven can change the way we live today.   If life hasn't turned out the way you hoped, this conversation is a beautiful reminder: this is not the end of your story. There is so much hope waiting for you.   Subscribe to the podcast and tune in each week as Haley and Dustin share with you what the Bible says about real-life issues with compassion, warmth, and wit.   So you have every reason for hope, for every challenge in life.

Today is day 246 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Corporate Worship. 246. Does structured liturgy inhibit sincere and vibrant worship? No. A structured liturgy provides sincere worshipers biblical language and forms that train our hearts for worship. Liturgy enables us to worship God joyfully and with one voice. (2 Samuel 6:1–4; 2 Chronicles 29; Psalm 68:24–33; 1 Corinthians 14:26–33, 39–40; Revelation 7:9–8:5) We will conclude today with Prayer 97.

Today we delve into the topic of submission, specifically in the context of slavery, as discussed in 1 Peter 2:18-25: Peter encourages slaves to submit to their masters with respect, regardless of their treatment, as Jesus did when he suffered for humanity's sins. Peter, Paul, James, and other apostles understood something that most of the Roman world did not - that slaves had inherent value and could potentially save their masters. This is why 1 Peter 2 and 1 Corinthians 7 emphasize the importance of slaves staying in their positions unless they have the opportunity to become free. Jesus' example of enduring physical and emotional pain, including being crucified and bearing the sins of humanity, shows that suffering is commendable to God. The episode concludes by highlighting the importance of faith and the promise of a better reward in heaven for those who endure persecution.

Every girl has been uniquely created by God with gifts that can bless others and bring Him glory. Whether she's a creative thinker, a natural strategist, or someone who simply loves serving people, parents have the incredible opportunity to nurture those God-given strengths while helping their daughters remember that every talent is ultimately a gift from the Lord.  In this episode of Raising Godly Girls, co-hosts Melissa Bearden and Natalie Ambrose continue their conversation about raising entrepreneurial Christian girls by exploring the role of creativity, imagination, and innovation in God's design. Together, they discuss why childhood is such a valuable season for dreaming, experimenting, and learning through failure—and how parents can encourage girls to develop the confidence and resilience they'll need to faithfully steward their gifts for years to come.  Melissa and Natalie also share practical ideas for helping girls discover how God has uniquely wired them, whether through creative pursuits, strategic leadership, or relationship-building. Along the way, they remind parents that the goal isn't simply raising successful young women—it's raising daughters whose talents point others to Christ and whose identity remains firmly rooted in Him.  Whether your girl is designing handmade creations, organizing family projects, dreaming up new ideas, or simply learning how God has uniquely equipped her, this conversation will encourage you to celebrate her imagination while helping her steward it with wisdom, humility, and purpose.    Three Things to Consider:  Nurture your daughter's God-given creativity and imagination, giving her space to explore, experiment, and grow.  Encourage her unique strengths—whether creative, strategic, or relational—and help her see how God can use each one to serve others.  Keep her identity anchored in Christ so that every talent, opportunity, and success becomes another way to glorify the One who gifted her.    Scriptures Referenced:  1 Corinthians 12  Luke 14:28  Matthew 25:40    Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.     To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org. 

TEACHING TEXT: 1 Timothy 2,”2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.”F.U.E.L.Faith“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would approach God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 UnityJohn 17:23, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.”EncounterMatthew 28:20” Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”Liberty“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17 Prayer WarriorThe practice of Prayer is the heart aligning with the will of the Father, which is the restoration of all things here on earth back into love and blessing under Him.THE PRAYER WARRIOR IS FUELED BY CONVICTION FOR GODS GLORY TO COVER THE EARTH.The warrior doesn't train their whole life to defend their living room; no, they go out and take ground, seek more battles, and fight on behalf of others in order to restore peace.Intercession – the act of pleading, praying, or intervening on behalf of another person.” we are taking the things we know about God to be true and then pointing them back at the world and asking for Him in those areas”.“All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation... We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.” — 2 Corinthians 5:18, 20 1 Timothy 2,”2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.”“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” — Matthew 6:10“Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.” — E. M. Bounds “Come Holy Spirit”There is one goal in intercession: Work Hard in Prayer to see the Lord prevail.2 Chronicles 7:14,”if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”You and the Lord are working together to bring His will to earth.Genesis 1:28,” God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”Learn to love to work for the Lord in prayer.Young men and women of the faith are not spectators in his kingdom – once you have said yes to Jesus, He brings you fully in to participate in His work of creation restoration. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2The greatest accomplishment in intercession is His presence coming into places and bringing transformation for His glory.1 Corinthians 11:1,Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”

Defeating thoughts have a way of quietly backing us into a corner. Resistance at every turn, mundane tasks that start to feel monumental, weariness that settles in before the day has really begun — and underneath it all, the enemy doing what he does best: creating doubt and fear. It started in the Garden of Eden with a single question: "Did God really say?" That one doubt-filled sentence cost Eve everything, and the pattern has continued ever since. In our work, our relationships, our health, and our faith, Satan works persistently to keep us living from a place of defeat rather than from the victory that already belongs to us. But First Corinthians 15:57 declares something that changes the entire frame: God gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Not someday. Not eventually. Today. The victory is already given, already secured, already ours in Christ. Living from victory rather than toward it is one of the most significant mindset shifts available to a believer. Every doubt, every defeating thought, every whisper of inadequacy has to bow at Jesus' feet — because the enemy has no ground in a life that belongs entirely to Him. Psalm 21 describes God greeting David with rich blessings, granting unending favor, and ensuring that through His unfailing love, David would not be shaken. That same greeting belongs to every child of God today. When a whisper of defeat comes, the response is not a desperate hope that victory might arrive. It is a declaration of what is already true: I am victorious in Christ Jesus. Today's Bible Verse "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."— 1 Corinthians 15:57, NIV Ponder Today The victory is already given — we live from it, not toward it. First Corinthians 15:57 does not say God will give us victory someday. It says He gives it. Present tense. The finish line is behind us, not ahead of us, because of what Christ accomplished. The enemy's primary weapon is doubt. "Did God really say?" is still his opening move. Recognizing the source of defeating thoughts — and responding with God's truth rather than engaging the question — is one of the most powerful forms of spiritual resistance available. Every inch of your life belongs to Jesus — the enemy has no ground there. When defeat feels like the dominant reality, it is a lie operating on territory it does not own. Reclaiming that territory begins with declaring what is actually true. God greets you with rich blessings and unfailing love. Psalm 21 describes the posture God takes toward those who trust in Him — not reluctant assistance, but generous, joyful blessing. That is the God you are bringing your defeating thoughts to. Let "I am victorious in Christ Jesus" become an anthem, not a last resort. Speaking truth out loud in the face of doubt and fear is not a performance of confidence we do not feel. It is faith declaring what is real before feelings catch up to it. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I admit that I have believed the enemy's lies for far too long. Please forgive me and help me step into the victory You have already claimed on my behalf. I am Yours, Lord, and I choose to live my life from the finish line of Your mercy and grace. When defeating thoughts come, help me see exactly where they are coming from and declare Your truth with boldness and belief. Your Word tells me I am blessed with unending blessings, and I stand on that truth as a platform of victory today. Thank You for overcoming the evil one. Remind me of this often, so that I too will overcome every doubt he throws my way. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

What did Paul mean when he said, “We have this treasure in earthen vessels”? In this study of 2 Corinthians 4, Gary Stearman explores Paul's remarkable teaching about the light of God, the spiritual blindness of the unbelieving world, and the treasure God has placed inside ordinary believers. We may be fragile vessels, but the treasure inside belongs to God.

Patrick offers insight on tough family situations, Catholic apologetics, forgiveness, and faith struggles, switching from serious to humorous in a heartbeat.

(16:23) Ellie (email) - You took a call this morning from a gentleman who asked if the Hindu religion is older than Christianity and you said, yes, it is, but big deal. You also frequently remind us of the chronology of Catholicism vis-a-vis the umpteen Protestant denominations and you emphasize that, look, Catholicism is older than all of those others. Why, then, don't you say that Hinduism is older than Catholicism, so maybe Hinduism is on to something? I guess what I'm asking is, how can we have it both ways? How can we dismiss everything that came after Catholicism but we don't dismiss Catholicism which came after Hinduism? (22:45) Jose - My brother drifted away from Church.

“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.” (2 Corinthians 1:3–4 NLT) Years ago, our grandson Christopher was playing in our backyard. Suddenly, he came running into the house with tears streaming down his face, unable to speak because of pain. “Christopher, what happened?” I asked. He lifted his shirt, and I could see a long, red scrape on his back. It was just deep enough to stir up those little nerve endings, leaving him in that “take-your-breath-away” agony. I scooped him up, grabbed an ice pack from the freezer, and held him in my arms. All I wanted to do was remove the pain, but I couldn’t. I could do something practical like put ice on the wound and hold him tight through his suffering, but beyond that I simply had to wait for the pain to subside. Oh, how it breaks my heart to see my loved ones hurt. But soon enough, the tears stopped flowing and Christopher felt better. I’m sure the bowl of ice cream I gave him also helped. So often when someone is hurting, what they want from us more than anything else is just our attention and our love: someone to put our arm around them, listen, and sit with them while they hurt. My hope, my prayer, is that we—as a church, as believers—are doing exactly that. We are coming alongside those who are hurting. We are helping each other. We are welcoming others in. This ministry of presence requires us to be still—to resist the urge to “do,” to fix, or to heal something that’s beyond our power to change. We want the church to be a place where there’s no shame, no fear, no hiding—a safe place for people who are suffering. We’re not going to fall back on tired clichés and try to fix people. We need to remember that brokenness takes time to heal. And sometimes the brokenness may never heal, but we need to love people throughout that time. When I was going through my season of suffering after the death of my son, the greatest gift people could give me was the gift of their presence. Of simply being there. Instead of asking me difficult and sometimes wounding questions before I was ready to open up and talk, they chose to just be present with me. We are here to be like Jesus, to be His hands and feet. We are to show compassion and to offer the ministry of our presence. We may not understand the complexities of people’s lives, but we are believers with the Holy Spirit living within us, and He will guide us in comforting others. Can we love somebody? Can we welcome somebody? Can we put our arm around somebody? Let’s challenge ourselves to live out a “yes” answer to these questions.

NEW #BIYE w @OliveTreeBible DAY 245 - Ecclesiastes 1:1-3:22 2 Corinthians 6:1-13 Psalms 46:1-11 Proverbs 22:15

What happens when you say yes to something God is asking you to do that seems completely crazy? Molly's story is proof that God can use the most unexpected things to open doors, start conversations, bring hope, and point people to Jesus. What began with a backpack full of cheese balls eventually became a unique ministry that has reached people across the United States and even around the world. Molly shares how an unconventional idea became a powerful conversation starter—and how she learned that obedience matters far more than whether something looks impressive to other people. But this conversation goes far beyond cheese balls. Molly opens up about her family's journey into American Ninja Warrior, how a simple geocaching discovery changed the direction of her family's life, and how God has continued to lead her through unexpected valleys and victories. She also shares about surviving open-heart surgery and her upcoming devotional, Surrender to the Surgeon, a deeply personal collection of 90 honest, hopeful, and humorous devotionals drawn from her journey. This episode is a powerful reminder that your platform may not look like someone else's—and that's okay. God can use your story, your personality, your family, your passions, and even the things other people don't understand to accomplish His purposes. As Molly says, the heart of it all is found in 1 Corinthians 10:31: “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” In this episode, you'll hear about: How Molly's cheese-ball ministry began Why she started wearing cheese balls in public How God can use unusual ideas to start spiritual conversations The incredible story of how geocaching led her family to American Ninja Warrior Learning to recognize God's direction in the seemingly insignificant moments What obedience looks like when you don't understand the bigger picture Molly's journey through open-heart surgery Her new book, Surrender to the Surgeon Why your testimony may be your greatest platform How God can use your ordinary life for extraordinary purposes The takeaway: You don't have to have a traditional platform for God to use you. Sometimes the thing that looks the most foolish to everyone else is exactly where God wants to demonstrate His power. If God is calling you to something unexpected, don't be afraid to say yes. You never know what He might do with your obedience.

For many years, it was an inspiring book. Then it became a hit Broadway musical. Then it was made into a movie several times. The story is Victor Hugo's classic, Lés Misérables. One of the many dramas in the book portrays the efforts of this group of valiant young men and women to fight to free their fellow Frenchmen from a tyrannical government. They make their stand against a massive French army at a makeshift wall they have constructed. They call it the “barricade of freedom.” They fight bravely, but their cause is threatened by a major problem that develops. They begin to run out of ammunition. Well, this one little boy realizes that their fight for freedom can only continue if they can find more ammunition. So, he risks his own life to crawl across the battle zone, picking up bullets from wounded and dying French soldiers. Because you can't win the battle when you're running out of bullets. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Running Out of Ammo in the Battle for Lives.” Right now, there's an ammunition shortage in the most decisive battle of all—that would be the battle for human souls, the battle for human lives. It began at the cross where Jesus died to make eternal life possible. It moved out across the planet at Jesus' command and in the power of His resurrection, and it continues this very day in cities and towns across this country and in every country of the world. It is a fight to liberate people Jesus died for from the penalty and the power of their sin, from an unspeakable eternity, and from Satan's chains. But on so many fronts in the battle, Jesus' forces are running out of bullets. In many places God's soldiers are beating back the enemy, taking prisoners from the enemy and pushing back the darkness. But they're running short of bullets. The money just isn't there to keep pressing the battle. All those letters and appeals you get asking for money for ministry—they're about a lot more than money. For ministries that are really making a difference, it's all about ammunition to keep fighting the battle for lives. But something's gone wrong. It can't be that God isn't giving the money to people through whom He wants to meet these needs. It must be that some of us are sitting on the ammunition instead of sending it to the front lines. And when we lose one of these battles, it's lives we lose—maybe forever. Our word for today from the Word of God lays out how the supply line for God's army is supposed to work. And thinking of the economic battles and struggles and sometimes the downturns of our time, it seems particularly relevant to go back to those Macedonian believers that Paul cited as an example for all of us. Here's what Paul says, “Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity…they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability” (2 Corinthians 8:2-3). It was sacrificial giving so the believers in Jerusalem would have the ammunition they needed to fight their battles. Why? It goes on to say, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that through His poverty we might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9). Jesus impoverished Himself to make us rich, and He's the Son of God. So, how can we hang onto what He's given us so we can stay in our comfort zone? The battle for a lost and dying world is every believer's battle, not just the battle for a few spiritual daredevils who take all the risks, exercise all the faith, and make all the sacrifices. For those who are fighting on the front lines, it's our responsibility to make every bullet count, to stay on mission, to always take the high road of integrity, and put our faith in Jehovah Jireh, not in our contributors. And for every one of us, we need to hear the cries from the front lines, “We're winning, but we're running out of ammunition!” Listen, while there's time, let's throw everything we can into this battle for which Jesus gave everything He had!

Friends of the Rosary,In the Gospel (Luke 4:38-44), Jesus heals Simon's mother-in-law and many others, then continues His mission of preaching the Kingdom of God.Meanwhile, Saint Paul (1 Corinthians 3:1-9) warns against jealousy, rivalry, and attachment to human leaders rather than to God.One person plants, another waters, but God gives the growth.We must let God be the one who gives the growth. We can serve, help, pray, and work, but the fruit belongs to Him.Jesus heals, restores, and sends us beyond comfort into mission.As the Psalm reminds (Psalm 33:12-13, 14-15, 20-21), the Lord sees every heart and is the true help of His people.Prayer for tomorrow: Lord Jesus, heal what is weak in me and free me from jealousy or pride. Help me serve faithfully, trust You with the growth, and follow You wherever Your mission leads.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

True Crime is the most popular form of entertainment right now. There is no shortage of podcasts, documentaries, shows, movies, books, Facebook groups, TikTok communities, and subreddits dedicated to True Crime. What causes people (mostly women) to be so intrigued and infatuated with true crime content? In this episode, Kelly explains the cultural phenomenon of True Crime entertainment and provides cautionary examples as to how the content distorts honest curiosity into something more debased. Can Christians engage with True Crime? Is it okay for teens? Kelly examines Scripture in light of the modern distortions of attraction and fandom of convicted perpetrators. The goal is to help believers have a biblical framework for thinking about and engaging with True Crime.

That is exactly what the enemy is counting on. If he can dominate your thought life with fear, worry, and what if it doesn't work, he does not have to do anything else. Your beliefs follow your thoughts, your words follow your beliefs, and your actions follow your words. He gets the outcome he wanted without ever touching your circumstances. In this teaching we walk through 2 Corinthians 10:5 and Romans 12:2 in the New Living Translation, then open Matthew 6:25-34, John 14:26-27, and John 16:33 in the Amplified. Jesus gave a direct instruction: stop being worried and anxious saying what will we eat, what will we drink, how are we going to make it. That is a command, which means you have the ability to carry it out. You have power, love, and a sound and well disciplined mind, and you can answer every fear thought the same way Jesus answered Satan. It is written.

As God gave blessings and curses to the members of the Old Covenant, God has given even greater and far more stunning blessings and curses to the members of the New Covenant.

In this episode of the Three C Podcast, Pastor Matt Sturdevant and the pastoral staff of Hope Church continue their "Fully Engaged" sermon series by going deeper into the meaning of ministry. Drawing from a definition by Dr. Wilson, Pastor Matt unpacks ministry phrase by phrase: it begins with participating with God, recognizing that God is already at work and invites us to join Him, as seen in 1 Corinthians 3:9 and John 5:19. It also means cooperating with people, because there are no "Lone Ranger" Christians in Scripture — ministry is a team effort that requires humility, patience, and putting the mission above personal preferences, as Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4:16. Ultimately, ministry is about serving others to meet their needs, fulfilling our calling, and bringing glory to God, as Matthew 5:16 and 1 Corinthians 10:31 remind us. The conversation then turns to spiritual gifts — special abilities given by the Holy Spirit to every follower of Jesus at the moment of salvation. Pastor Matt emphasizes that there are no un-gifted believers, pointing to key passages in Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4, and 1 Peter 4. The staff shares personal stories of how they discovered their own gifts through trial, service, and affirmation from others, reinforcing the principle that you often discover your gifts by using them, not by waiting until you've figured everything out. Pastor Matt also draws an important distinction between spiritual gifts and spiritual responsibilities — just because you don't have the gift of evangelism, for example, doesn't excuse you from sharing your faith. The episode wraps up with a candid discussion on spiritual consumerism versus contribution. The staff challenges listeners to examine their motives and move from simply receiving to actively serving. Pastor Matt offers a practical pathway — pray, explore, try, evaluate, and commit — and encourages everyone to connect with the church's discipleship pastor to find a place to get in the game. As Pastor Matt puts it, Jesus didn't save us from something; He saved us for something.

How do they know you follow Christ? It's easy to say we believe in Jesus, attend church, know Scripture, and identify as a Christian but is there evidence of Him in the way we actually live? In this episode of Let It B, we're taking an honest look at what it means to be known by our fruit.  The fruit of the Spirit isn't just something we talk about on Sundays. It should show up in our everyday lives in our relationships, our decisions, our reactions, our character, and especially in the moments when we're tested. What happens when someone disrespects you? When you're disappointed? When you're hurt? When nobody is watching? When obedience means standing alone? We'll talk about what it means to be in the world but not of the world, to be set apart without becoming self-righteous, and to be okay with looking different when following Christ means refusing to compromise. Through the stories of Joseph and Daniel, we'll look at what it means to remain faithful when doing the right thing comes at a cost. But this episode isn't about perfection. It's about transformation. Because the question isn't simply, "Do you call yourself a Christian?" The question is: Where's the evidence? If someone watched your life for 30 days without hearing you say the word "Christian," what would they conclude about who you belong to? Your fruit reveals what has taken root in you.
